Was this the last time we'll meet at the Old Homestead? It seems our hares are loading and hitching up their wagon to head north (well, a kilometre or two north, anyway) and it could well be that the next time they host a run it will be elsewhere. Rumour has it that the location is close to where the runners got hopelessly lost a couple of months back. They'll be wiser next time.
Over the years we've got to know the back blocks of Mitchie and the tracks along the Brook pretty well. This didn't stop some of the walkers from losing the trail - they were talking at the time - and didn't stop the runners from needing a hint or two from the hare as well. He was awarded a down, down for the runners' loop in particular.
Back home, and under strict instructions not to muddy the floors, we were treated to some triffic beef stroganoff, a vegetarian option, and home-made apple pie. Yum! Many thanks as usual to our hares!
It was good to welcome back Floater (don't know what she'd done with Scratchit) after a huge two months of walking and sightseeing and visiting in Europe. She's planning their next jaunt already....
And Culture has been very busy organising the Samford 1924 Day festival next Saturday. She put in a plug during the circle. A number of other hashers are involved in serving up food and wine. Should be a great day!
Here are some of Snappy's shots from the Old Homestead and its surrounds....
